Launching soon!

Hmmm, how does the DevOps capabilities come into play here? I guess with coding such a (possibly) big project, one has to make it really good technically. Congrats on the launch!

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@heypaus Great question! Choosing the dev tools tag was intentional.

Blink is for non-technical developers! We offer 1st party SQL database, cloud storage, edge functions (powered by Deno), realtime API. More to come.

You don't have to code to be a developer. Not anymore!

Thanks so much for the support -- please try us out if you haven't already :)

Lmk your feedback!

Hey PH friends! 👋 I’m Kai (@KF_builds), creator of Blink.

As a solo founder since 2021, I used to design my SaaS app in Figma, and then hand it off to a dev team to implement. With the rise of AI coding, I think there’s a better way, and I vibe-coded it.

Blink.new — our AI app developer — enables everyone to turn their ideas into beautiful, fully working apps 100x faster than writing code.


There are many AI coding tools out there, but they either require significant technical knowledge and manual setup to get started, or builds only a good-looking frontend that breaks the moment you add any business logic.


What can Blink do?

🎨 Design Beautiful UI - Create stunning websites, SaaS apps, fun and immersive 2D/3D games, and even mobile apps

🤖 AI Coding Agent - Blink is a coding agent with sophisticated tools and workflows that perfectly amplifies how an experienced software engineer thinks and works

🗄️ Setup Database - Automatically sets up your database tables and manages records, resulting in a functional app in the first version

🧬 Copy Any UI - You can replicate pixel perfect frontend of any app in one-shot (e.g. MS Excel, PowerPoint, HubSpot CRM) and clone any website with URL

🛠️ Auto Debugging - Blink has context of everything, from your codebase to browser console to network logs, enabling it to proactively fix any errors and bugs without you even noticing

💳 Stripe / Supabase MCP - Setting up integrations with Stripe and Supabase with Blink means you don’t have to run SQL queries manually, setup auth configurations manually, or add products and prices in Stripe manually. Blink does it all

🌐 Custom Domains - Connect a custom domain and launch your beautiful, fully working website or app with Blink, without ever leaving the platform

And so much more.

Blink empower everyone to turn their ideas into beautiful, fully working apps — without needing to write a single line of code, or being stuck in error loops.

What are Blink users building?

@kf_builds Looks intuitive, but how does it handle scaling products long-term? Many congratulations on the launch :)

Sundar Arvind

Super cool! Any reason Blink is better than say a Lovable?

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@sundararvind1244 Great question, Sundar!

First of all, Lovable is a great product - the first time I tried it, I really liked it.

However, I soon realized it's pretty limited in what you can actually build with it.

The problems I found:

1. Super slow iterations: Every edit reprints the same files again and again. This doesn't work for serious projects where you need to move fast and iterate quickly.

2. Static UI only: Lovable only builds the frontend. Zero backend. You still need to manually connect Supabase, which is another level of technical difficulty and a steep learning curve.

3. Manual integrations: Why can't AI code the whole thing? Why do we have to manually set up connections? I LOVE Supabase and use it for side projects, but the way Lovable and Bolt handle it still feels super manual.

So we built Blink differently:

✅ Automatic Supabase setup - Blink runs SQL queries, configures auth, writes and deploys edge functions, checks logs for debugging. All automatic.

✅ Automatic Stripe billing - Sets up products, prices, webhooks, event handling without you touching the dashboard. That's the AI experience we want.

✅ Built-in full stack - Authentication, storage, database, edge functions, AI chat, AI image generation, email sending... all powered by Blink SDK. No third-party needed (but any integration you want are supported).

✅ Self-debugging - Blink fixes its own errors and works like your AI CTO, not just a code generator.


Blink is the only AI coding agent for non-technical users that handles it all end-to-end. From idea to production app with real users and payments.


Plus, it's free to try! Let me know what you think -- I know there's a ton of things we could improve on. Your feedback would be appreciated!

Kai, I really like how you guys leveraged the power of a boilerplate to build apps faster and better than the competitors. I immediately thought about lovable too but then I saw your comment.

Love the demo video you put together. Sleek.
When I used to play with lovable, I've noticed it exposed sensitive functions and data to the client-side.
How Blink deals with it?
Congrats on launch btw. Great product!

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@saascouple Hey Chris, thanks for the kind words! You brought up a really important aspect -- security.

I've met users burned by other AI tools that had to hire an agency to review their app security. It's actually a really big problem!

Blink handles secrets securely for every user, with its inbuilt secure secrets vault. User can add API keys and secret tokens required by their APIs and services in Blink, and data is securely stored in our secrets vault + encrypted at rest.

As your frontend app makes API calls, this goes through:

  1. Blink / Supabase Edge Functions (both use same underlying tech) -- which is deployed securely in the backend only, not exposed to the browser

  1. Blink SDK - which provides a secure HTTP API calling service, that allows you to reference any stored secrets when making API calls directly from your frontend. The call goes through Blink's backend infrastructure, providing a serverless development experience

No matter which path your app goes, secret keys stay secret!

This enables more complex business logic and more valuable app creation without the security nightmare.

Chris T

@kf_builds that's amazing actually. I was hired a few times by agencies to review their vibe-coded apps on lovable. Most of them exposed supabase creds which I could easily jack and mess with the db.

Great to hear you address this gracefully with sdk protecting the calls and edge protecting the functions.

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@saascouple Oh yeah people definitely need help securing their projects built on lovable. This is good to know -- we'll keep security in mind and never get too carried away! Thanks for sharing your experience. Seems I could recommend friends your way if they need help with securing their projects?

Chris T

@kf_builds yep, you can recommend if any. And thanks for answering the question. Good luck with today's launch!

Joey Zhu

Blink just fixing bugs on its own is wild—no more losing hours to dumb errors, fr. You guys just made my life 10x easier!

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Hey Joey! 👋


Exactly! The auto-fixing is what I'm most proud of. I was so tired of AI tools showing an impressive UI and then the moment your app gets complex it breaks. And you get stuck in error loops of infinite rewrites of the same file -- burning tokens!


Blink sees the full context of your app, your browser, your server logs, and catches these mistakes before they become problems.

We've achieved 90% fewer errors in 100s of tests vs competitors.

What's your next app idea? Try building it in Blink!

Nader Ikladious

The claim 'build an app in seconds' is already huge, but 'self-corrects errors' is next-level AI. If this delivers, it completely changes the game for building MVPs. Insanely ambitious, congrats on the launch! 🤯

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@naderikladious Thank you so much! It is an insanely ambitious project -- and incredibly motivating!

Without the recent advancement in AI coding abilities, none of this would have been possible.

Really excited for the future!

Shawnie Shan

congradulations! Looking forward to see your workflow.

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@shawnie_shan Thank you! I'll share more about my workflow in a future post on X - follow me @KF_builds

Matthew Sack

Hey @kf_builds, thanks for putting this out there! Heads up that the promo code you shared (BLNKPH20) doesn't seem to be working

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@matthew_sack Hey Matthew, seems too many redemptions. No problem I just recreated it! You can use the same code it will work now: BLNKPH20

Matthew Sack

Sorry@kf_builds , I'm still getting an error saying "This code has expired." Any suggestions on what to do?

Arun Kumar

First of all, Congratulation for your Excellent app. Very seamless experience. The feedback:
- But fixing issues on the generated code should not be counted as extra message.
- Add more production readiness features to differentiate from other mushrooming code gen apps.

Leon Han

Wow, this is a game-changer! 🎉 Huge congrats on creating such an innovative tool. It’s like the future of app development is here now. Can't wait to see the amazing apps people will build with this! 🚀

laoli lantian

An AI app builder with a beautiful UI? This hits that clever dev-core vibe Xiaohongshu loves. Redverse makes landing quiet tools like this easy. 🚀

Pulkit Garg

Blink.new looks sleek love how it turns links and bookmarks into shareable, organised spaces in seconds. Quick question are you planning integrations with team tools like Slack or Notion to streamline collaboration?

Kai (Jiabo) Feng

@pulkitgarg Thank you for your support! Integration with Slack and Notion is as easy as asking Blink!

Çağan Tarık Kaya

Looks amazing! The best of luck for the future

Sriraman K

Kai F. This is fantastic. Keep it up.

I am a non-coder to start with, so I did not understand many of the tech terms in your post and PH page.

And I have already built a reasonably working application in the last 7 hours. :) It's working now. I ll be fine-tuning it further for the next 1 day and looking forward to launching MVP and testing.

Look forward for Vox Aura Voice Canvas.
